Introduction to Jennifer Hert

Hello all!  This has been an very big journey for me this year.  I have had many life changes that have impacted everything that I view life.  I actually began a journey of self awerness a few years ago that sent me to Kaplan University to start a profession in nutrition and over all health and wellness.  During this journey I began to look at all the toxic things in my life and began to get rid of them one by one.  I stopped drinking, I began to lose weight, look at my own spirtuality, I started adding fitness back into my life and I started looking at those individuals I allow in my life.  In this course of self awerness I have made some major life changes one of the biggest was leaving the father of my daughter who I have been with almost ten years.  I began to realize how toxic life was for both of us and made the best decision by leaving it.  He was toxic in the way that he could control me emotionally and did a lot of damage to my mental health.  It was the hardest of decisions because of my daughter but it was the best one for both of us.  It has not been an easy journey but I have began to find peace and I now can see my self becoming mentally, spiritually and physically healthy.  If you have heard the saying you can not love others if you do not love yourself, I have found that to be true.  I have learned to love myself and take care of me first so that I can care for others around me.  I am now on a journey with my daughter, supportive family and a new boyfriend that is very caring and good to me.  This is a journey that will continue and its not over yet!

  1. Good for you girl! Way to go! Honestly, I'm kind of in the same situation you were before you made your decision. I think what's holding me back from leaving completely is my hope that he will find God again.
    I wish you the best...
